Saskia uses several well-known approaches and adapts them to each person. She emphasizes meeting people where they are, building hope, and motivating change. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and skills that clients can try between meetings.
Her background includes work with trauma, abuse, and addiction. That history informs how she structures sessions and what she prioritizes early on, such as safety, stabilization, and practical coping tools. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the work collaborative.
Clients can expect a conversational but focused process. Saskia aims to help people make small, steady shifts that add up over time. She invites prospective clients to reach out and start a conversation about their needs and goals.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and making the pace fit each person. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and wants to build self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behavior. It teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems by changing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, includes emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills. It can be useful for strong mood swings, anger, and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they may combine elements from different approaches and check in regularly to see what is helping.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use skills learned in a real-life context and brings therapy into everyday routines without assuming any single format.
